Stringer help

PAR -

Thanks for the advice. Wood has won the day. Not as sexy, but then again, there really isn't much that is sexy in the bilge. I will post pictures shortly, and update occasionally. This is my first major project, so I'm taking it slow...

Best Regards,

Christian

 

The last time I say a sexy bilge, I had to divorce the thing . . . careful what you wish for . . .

 

All,

These pictures are a bit dated, but you can see where I started to take the deck off. The stingers in the bow were solid, but everything in the stern was gone. There was total separation between the stringers and laminate. The deck is now completely off.

I'll be updating the pictures shortly.

Bought the stringers

All,

Thank you for your help. I went and bought solid Douglas Fir 1x 12" 's for the stringers. Still working on cleaning the old stringers and supports out of the bilge, but getting closer to the install.
